Controversial opinion, I hate Bill Maher. He seems like a giant, egotistical tool that screams tryhard.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Lol it’s a pretty standard opinion, actually. Maybe one of the most shared opinions across the American political spectrum.
I guess I have crappy friends then, damn.
Yes you do. Democrat or Republican, everyone with sense hates Bill Mahr.
I think you can have sense and still find him a little entertaining. He’s definitely a bit full of himself, but I enjoy hearing someone talk shit a little shit about the left.
Guess I did get a little tired of him, haven’t watched his show in like a year. But I wouldn’t say I hate him.
He's a disgusting individual who regularly courts the fascist alt-right while making statements where we routinely attacks average people.
I've hated him for platforming conservatives for years while offering the weakest counter-points to their sophistry. He thinks he's Jon Stewart, but lacks the discipline and hard work that goes into preparing for interviews with hostile guests.
Yeah I remember him having Rand Paul on and he didn't call him on any of his bullshit at all. That was when I stopped watching.
i stopped when he had milo y on and complained about being cancelled. and then it came out milo y is in favor of kids getting groomed and molested in gay clubs.
I never thought that was a controversial opinion. I second that
I've yet to meet anyone that likes Bill Maher. He just seems so... douchey.
He's definitely a douche. And that's probably too kind of a term (shit stain is more accurate). To put it simply, it wouldn't surprise me if tomorrow the same allegations being thrown at Russell Brand were thrown at Bill Maher.
And even if they were false, it just goes to show how little I think of his quality as a person that that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
That's not controversial? It's known that he's taken a pronounced, pandering turn to the right and is not redeemable.
I don’t hate him, but there is a lot of ego and vanity on the guy. And he’s far less clever than he thinks he is.
It’s not controversial. Anybody with the level of success he’s reached has a trillion trolls and haters. You can’t make everyone like you… especially when you speak your mind about everything.
Desperate old scab TERRIFIED of becoming irrelevant (too late).
idk what people find interesting about TV. Most of it is just mind-numbing shows
I listen to his show as a podcast. I miss out on the imagery some of the bits require, but it’s still a great listen.
glad that he produces interesting content
He doesn't, he used to. He's a joke now.
He realized that the crowds at the sad casinos he does his "comedy" at were aging rapidly. They increasingly wanted a "different" kind of "humor" and he's as desperate as they come. So he sold out any morals/decency he had as a person so he can stay in the "spotlight" - even if that spotlight is aimed wrong and is housed at the smaller, more rundown theater in the Central Oklahoma's third largest casino with a C from the health department that just had a big hepatitis outbreak.
:(
It's really not
Ohh no, poor Bill can't sit there smelling his own shit on TV.
He didn't balk. He was ready to go until people were mad about it. Fuck that guy, and fuck this headline for making it sound like he cared.
It sounds like they're preparing to sack the BTL workers like last time so this is going to be a thing over the next few weeks.
